I would think it would be better to make it an annual event and pay out 70% at the ramp and create a scholarship fund or something with the 30% of the purse remaining. That is usualy how a benefit works, or give the money to his surviving spouse/children? Just a random thought. Beleive me, I don't think participation will drop off by paying 70% and the rest for the mentioned method listed.
